Course Outline

Day 1 – Introduction to the CAN Protocol

  • An overview of in-vehicle networking and the specific role of CAN
  • Fundamental concepts of the CAN protocol
  • Message framing, arbitration processes, and standard/extended identifiers
  • Key mechanisms including bit stuffing, CRC, ACK, and intermission
  • Exploring the physical and data link layers
  • Bus properties, network topology, and termination strategies
  • Error handling mechanisms within CAN

Day 2 – Practical CAN Communication

  • Types of CAN messages: Data, Remote, Error, and Overload
  • Configuring bit timing and bus speed
  • Factors influencing bus load and latency
  • Introduction to diagnostic protocols operating over CAN (UDS, OBD-II)

Day 3 – Getting Started with CANoe

  • A general overview of CANoe’s capabilities and typical applications
  • Project initialization: setup, configuration, and simulation nodes
  • Creating and utilizing the trace window and panels
  • Traffic analysis techniques using filtering and logging tools
  • Managing simulation blocks and their configurations

Day 4 – Advanced CANoe & CAPL Programming

  • Introduction to CAPL (Communication Access Programming Language)
  • Understanding structure, syntax, and event-driven programming
  • Developing CAPL scripts for simulation and fault injection scenarios
  • Simulating ECU behaviors, gateway functions, and diagnostics
  • Automating test processes and generating reports
  • Best practices for debugging and long-term maintenance

Requirements

  • Foundational knowledge of communication protocols and embedded systems
  • Prior exposure to automotive software testing or diagnostic procedures
  • Proficiency in C programming or general scripting languages (noting that CAPL shares structural similarities with C)

Target Audience

  • Automotive test engineers and validation specialists
